Voice box anatomy, artwork C016 / 7692
Voice box anatomy. Computer artwork showing the location (right) and structure (left) of a human larynx (voice box). The larynx is involved in breathing, sound production (phonation), and protecting the trachea against food aspiration. It houses the vocal folds (vocal cords), which are essential for phonation. They open (far left) during breathing, close when holding ones breath, and vibrate to modulate the flow of air being expelled from the lungs for phonation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Voice box anatomy, artwork C016 / 7692" offers a detailed glimpse into the intricate structure of the human larynx. With a white background that accentuates its anatomical features, this computer artwork showcases both the location and composition of this vital organ. The larynx plays a multifaceted role in our daily lives. Not only is it responsible for facilitating breathing but also for producing sound through phonation. Additionally, it acts as a safeguard against food aspiration by protecting the trachea. At the heart of this remarkable organ lies the vocal folds, commonly known as vocal cords. These delicate structures are indispensable for speech production. During inhalation, they open wide to allow air passage; during breath-holding moments, they close tightly to prevent air from escaping; and during phonation, they vibrate rhythmically to modulate airflow expelled from our lungs. Expertly illustrated by Claus Lunau from Science Photo Library, this artwork provides an insightful cutaway view of various membranes and folds within the larynx. Its attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only its biological significance but also its aesthetic beauty. Whether you're fascinated by biology or simply intrigued by how we produce sounds with our voice boxes, this mesmerizing print is sure to captivate your imagination and spark curiosity about our amazing human body's capabilities.
